Audi A6 E-Tron spied testing in the Alps

The all-electric Audi A6 E-Tron is under some heavy pre-production testing now, as evidenced by this spy video zooming in on the car for a detailed look.

The production version of the car looks faithful to the concept in most aspects. There are a few minor alterations, such as split headlights with slightly larger lower portions, less pronounced air intakes at the corners, and a large trapezoid opening in the middle of the lower front fascia.

Other than that, it looks like the automaker was busy testing the brakes: the A6 E-Tron has emergency blinkers on and can be seen descending a mountain path slowly.

The car has PPE underpinnings and uses an electric powertrain rated at 476 PS (469 hp / 350 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque – at least, these are the specs of the concept version. Audi claims it can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from standstill in less than 4 seconds and cover around 700 km (435 miles) of road according to the WLTP standard. This is made possible thanks to a large 100-kWh battery.

The A6 E-Tron is expected to debut in late 2022 and go on sale next year.
